    Expert Answer
    That’s really an individual question. As long as you’re unattached to the outcome, and it won’t completely change your view of them if they don’t say it back, then anytime is fine. If you’re really invested in hearing “I love you” back, you might want to wait longer, probably a couple more months after you start feeling the love.
